Adrian Wooley made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 18 seconds left, as visiting Louisville defeated the 22nd-ranked Miami Hurricanes 92-89 in an ACC matchup in Coral Gables.<\/p>\n

On Miami\u2019s next possession following Woley\u2019s shot, Tre Donaldson lost his balance and threw an errant pass for a turnover.<\/p>\n

After a pair of Louisville free throws, Donaldson made a layup with two seconds left to cut the lead to 91-89.<\/p>\n

Sananda Fru split a pair of free throws for the Cardinals. Trailing by three, Miami\u2019s Tru Washington heaved half-court shot that missed off the backboard and off the rim; the attempt took place after time expired, nevertheless.<\/p>\n

It was the regular-season finale for both teams, and Miami (24-7, 13-5) finished tied for the most regular season wins in program history.<\/p>\n

Louisville (22-9, 11-7) got double-figure scoring from Ryan Conwell (24 points), J\u2019Vonne Hadley (16), Wooley (15), and Isaac McKneely (15).<\/p>\n

Miami had its three-game win streak snapped, despite a game-high 25 points and six assists from Donaldson.<\/p>\n

It was Senior Day for Miami as Donaldson, Malik Reneau (18 points) and Ernest Udeh Jr. (eight points, eight rebounds) were honored.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes reserve Noam Dovrat scored nine points, while shooting 3-6 on 3-pointers. Over his past three games, he is 11-for-16 from deep.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, the Hurricanes are still one of the best stories of the season, bouncing back from a 7-24 campaign.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals played without Mikel Brown Jr., who missed his second straight game and his 10th this season due to a back injury. Brown is Louisville\u2019s second-leading scorer (18.2).<\/p>\n

Louisville, which got off to a 13-2 start, had an early advantage as Reneau went to the bench after getting charged with two fouls in the first two minutes.<\/p>\n

Seven minutes later, coach Jai Lucas, with Miami trailing 21-10, brought Reneau back, and the gamble worked. Reneau did not commit another foul the rest of the half, and Miami closed the gap a bit, as Louisville had a 46-37 lead at the break.<\/p>\n

Conwell led all first-half scorers with 18 points, including four 3-pointers in the first 10 minutes. Donaldson led Miami with 10 points on 5-for-9 shooting, but he went 0-for-3 on 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

Miami made a run in the second half, tying the score 77-77 on a Donaldson 3-pointer with 4:20 left. On Miami\u2019s next possession, Donaldson drove the lane to give Miami its first lead of the second half, 79-78.<\/p>\n

The game was close the rest of the way, but the Cardinals held on to beat the Hurricanes for the third straight time over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n
